My ten-month old Westie eats rocks. Would using the lap dogs remote collar work to make her hate rocks be a good idea? Does the DVD give all the details about its proper use?

Hi,

I am so glad to have found your web site today while searching for information about using muzzles and the proper fit of prong collars.

My ten-month old Westie eats rocks. She has already had two surgeries to remove rocks from her stomach. A small path in my garden is where she gets the rocks and temporarily, I have covered the path with landscape cloth, thinking to remove them (but it will be hard to be sure I get them all). Meanwhile she aggressively digs at the landscape cloth until she can access the rocks.

The vet says she will always have to wear a muzzle when outside anywhere. This, I don't believe, will be a good solution. She is very loving, happy, good-natured dog and I don't want to do anything to change her lovely temperament, and currently a great life-style. She's had some obedience training and is cooperative.

She (Susannah) is right at 12 pounds now and probably will weigh about 14-15 lbs when grown, based on her mother's size.

Sorry to go on so long. My question is would using the "lap dogs" remote collar work to make her hate rocks a good idea? Does the DVD give all the details about its proper use? Would she have to wear it inside the house, too? Would she end up hating the collar, too?

Thank you for the great information on your site!

Many thanks for any advice about my rock-eating puppy.
